Dear Russ! I bought from you some Opus DAC panel for myself and my friend's WM8742 experiments. My question is: can we use the Volumite controller for this chip? The WM8741 firmware ok or need different? Thanks for help, and sorry for my bad english... Sincerelly: Istvan from Hungary Edited by user Friday, November 26, 2010 4:03:08 PM(UTC)

You will need to look at both datasheets to be sure.
WM8742 is an inferior DAC to the WM8741. I quick look at the datasheets will confirm that for you. It is intended for lower end consumer products. It is basically a lower cost version of the WM8741 with corners cut to save money.
It just goes to show you that a greater part number does not mean a better part. Especially in this case. And yes I have listened to both and the WM8741 is much better. :)

Possible that the other is even better, but now it's at hand. Can we use the chip with Volumite?

It looks like it should work just fine, but as I said you will need to compare datasheets for yourself to be certain. Edited by user Saturday, November 27, 2010 7:49:30 PM(UTC)
